If you search around, you'll see lots of threads and posts related to drag racing. Hell, we've got 90% of the members in the thread who want it. Drag racing is the oldest form of auto-racing to date. Why wouldn't we have a seperate forum for us guys? Heck, the south forum has its own lounge sub-forum. Is that really necessary?

 

Like I already said, I'd like to see seperate forums for Drag and Drift. You don't have to convince me. Here's what I'm trying to say:

-The Megasquirt forum was created recently.
-It wasn't created in response to a "can we have a new forum" thread.
-It was created in response to a TON of little threads about Megasquirt, in both the Engine Management and 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen and Race Section forums, over the course of a few months. Every thread seemed to end in "gee it would be nice if we had our own forum so people would know where to find this info?"


^^I haven't seen that sort of buzz about drag-racing RX-7's, so that's probably why a Drag forum doesn't exist already. What I'm saying is you need to convince the admins, and I know that the people who are interested in Megasquirt have been able to do that. You might want to send some PMs to the Megasquirt moderator(s) and see exactly how things happened.

I've already been in contact with Jeffshoots, BOOSTD7 and Red-Rx7.

 

i read through probably 5.5 of the pages of the same squabble back and forth, i assumed the other couple pages were going to be the same thing but figured i'd throw that up just in case there happened to be a new topic brought up in the 2 pages i didn't read, its not like i read the first post and made my reply, i certainly read through most all of it and didn't see a change in pace whatsoever...

good idea , if the interest TRULY is here, PROVE IT, keep showing the owners that you TRULY need a new forum instead of just bringing up an obviously controversial topic and arguing about it back and forth...

if they are there, post them, you might have to do a little leg work to get what you want, dont expect to pitch a bitch fit and have the owners crumble at your feet, bring up some good hard evidence for your requests... having the majority of the members in this thread on your side (which most arent really quite as adamant as you are making them out to be, most are just like "eh, whatever") really means nothing considering the majority of people who click on it will be people in support, the rest will just overlook and not bother posting any opposition... like i said before it really wouldn't bother me one way or the other if there was a drag racing forum, i just dont see the point, and aside from saying "we need a seperate forum" i dont see you doing anything to convince anybody otherwise, you might want to take that into consideration when you notice the owners/moderators not replying to your messages, now if you were to bring up some valid facts that didn't involve them searching all over the forum (which i'm sure they have no interest in doing whatsoever for a cause they could probably give 2 ***** about) they might be a little bit more enticed to actually follow through with some of your requests... again, i'm not really for or against this idea, i think if the support is really there then you guys should definitly get your own forum, but thus far i just dont see the support you claim to have, and i'm certainly not going to search for it myself...

i wish you luck in your request, but like mentioned by a couple people above i really do think you should try going about this a different way... good luck ...

 

It's already being discussed in the moderators forum.

Thanks.

 

I recently wanted to post my new time down the quarter mile. I posted in the single turbo forum since I know no one would read it if I posted in the racing section. Hope it helps but I also think it would be a great idea. If it does not work out, it can always be pulled.

There were requests eventually a subforum, but you do have it right: It was added because members demonstrated it would be used.

 

lets race!

 

Im down for it.....i'm also down cause i fell over and am now in the process of passing outattttttttttttttttttttt.........ZzZzZzzzz

 

Bump for LUPE

 

Rock on.......

 

Ummmmm...any updates??

 

Jeffshoots (Admin) just sent me a pm letting me know that they've agreed on his proposal for a drag racing forum. Now, it's just a matter of when

 

I echo LUPE,s thoughts. I seperate drag forum would be good. Plus we can entice others in to make it broad

FYI:

Omichron (Admin) has just agreed to add a Drag Racing forum. Thanks Omichron!
